The new Porsche 911 GT3 RS roars onto Ho Chi Minh City in iconic Guards Red, priced at 17.7 billion VND. Explore its performance, features and availability – learn more now!
Ho Chi Minh City witnessed a flash of red this week as the latest‑generation Porsche 911 GT3 RS rolled onto the scene. Dressed in the brand’s classic Guards Red paint, the supercar is the third confirmed 911 GT3 RS to hit Vietnamese roads and carries a headline price of 17.69 billion VND (about $750,000 USD).
Design cues from the track
The 2022‑model GT3 RS draws heavily from Porsche’s racing pedigree, echoing the aggressive lines of the 911 GT3 R and 911 RSR race cars. A wider body, sharp aerodynamic bulges and the removal of the front luggage compartment make way for a sophisticated cooling system borrowed straight from the track.
Lightweight wheels and colour options
Standard fitting includes forged‑aluminium multi‑spoke wheels – 20‑inch at the front and 21‑inch at the rear – engineered for minimal unsprung mass. Buyers can opt for a glossy Pyro Red, Satin Black or Indigo Blue finish, each adding roughly VND 40 million to the base price.
Aerodynamics that adapt
The GT3 RS is equipped with an active rear wing that works like a Formula 1 DRS system. Drivers can electronically adjust the down‑force, shifting from a lower‑drag stance for high‑speed runs to a maximum‑grip setting that produces up to 860 kg of down‑force at 285 km/h.
Interior focused on performance
Inside, the cockpit features carbon‑fiber bucket seats as standard, with an optional 18‑position Adaptive Sports seat for added comfort. A new rotary knob on the steering wheel lets drivers toggle between driving modes, electronic balance, and traction‑control settings on the fly.
Powerplant and performance figures
Under the hood sits Porsche’s naturally aspirated 4.0‑litre flat‑six boxer engine, delivering 525 hp and 465 Nm of torque. Mated to a 7‑speed PDK dual‑clutch transmission, the GT3 RS rockets from 0–100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds and tops out at 296 km/h. The car carved a lap time of 6:44.848 at the Nürburgring in 2022, ranking it among the fastest production sports cars of its era.
Pricing and market presence in Vietnam
The base price of VND 17.69 billion already places the GT3 RS at the top of Vietnam’s luxury‑car segment. Fully optioned – including carbon‑fiber exterior trim and the coveted Weissach Package (worth an additional VND 2.7 billion) – the price can exceed VND 20 billion.
According to Znews’ research, at least four units of the 992.1 GT3 RS have been imported into the country by January 2026: one in black, two in white, and the latest Guards Red example.
What’s next for interested buyers?
Potential owners should contact authorised Porsche dealers in Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi for availability, test‑drive scheduling, and bespoke build‑your‑own options. With its race‑derived technology and striking red livery, the 911 GT3 RS is set to become a collector’s favorite in the Southeast Asian market.
